Major changes have occurred in the interior of microvena.
At the Paris motor show Kia showed not only a brand new Rio and Soul with a turbocharged engine, which has already been written.
The Koreans also showed a slightly updated seven-seater Carens microvan.
There are not many new things, but still the car survived the facelift model software. All standard. New bumpers, new fog lamps, a rigged corporate “tiger nose” grille and new taillamps.
There are several new exterior colors and wheels with a fresh design. And now the family “bus” can be equipped with 16-inch wheels, but 17-and even 18-inch.
The most important upgrade in the interior, which can be either light or black, it’s the infotainment system. It can be equipped with a seven – or eight-inch monitor and works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
For extra charge you can get the whole range of modern electronic devices. Here, rear view camera, and satellite navigation and a powerful JBL sound system. It is possible to order the subwoofer.
And added some finishing materials. It is very fashionable panel under the carbon fiber and a new fabric upholstery, reminiscent of the texture of the weave. In the top trim levels offered and a leather trim.
In technology, nothing has changed. Kia will offer the updated Carens with the same 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 136 HP, a friend to many on the Ceed hatchback. Or more economical 1,7-ditropan CRDi turbodiesel. It is available in two levels of boost. With a capacity of 115 HP or 136.
The driver, who is worried about the state of the environment, will offer additional environmental package, system “Start-Stop” and the special Michelin tires with low rolling resistance. In this figure the savings in fuel Kia does not. He only talks about emissions. And here only 109 g/km with the car with a six-speed manual transmission.
